The growing use of Artificial Intelligence is in the news almost daily. Businesses are looking for strategies to incorporate AI for efficiency and a competitive advantage. The workforce is concerned about the changes AI will bring for jobs and required skill sets. At MIT, the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) and Sloan’s Initiative on the Digital Economy (IDE) will host a conference on November 8, 2018, which will bring together thought leaders from academia, business leaders, economists and visionaries for an open dialogue about AI’s impact. Ultimately, the goal for this important event is to make a “call to action” for all of us to make smart decisions on the use of technology, with a focus on the job creation opportunities that these brilliant technologies can bring to our economy.

MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) and Initiative on the Digital Economy (IDE) are joining forces to host the 3rd annual AI and the Future of Work Congress.

Driven by an artificial intelligence revolution and new talent models, work is rapidly changing. Daily, jobs and the skills needed to be successful in the workplace are being reinvented.

With headlines like, “Will Robots and AI Take Your Job” and “Automation Is the Greatest Threat to the American Worker, Not Outsourcing”, the future of work is uncertain and daunting for many across the globe.

Join academics, corporate leaders and public policy makers as we get to the truth behind these headlines and explore the opportunities and challenges ahead for organizations and their employees.

MIT takes as a guiding premise that addressing the social and human implications of technology should not be an afterthought. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in this important conversation.
